[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2884553, member: 116181"] [IMG alt=" "]https://media0.giphy.com/media/GWS8bXKxphfEI/200.gif[/IMG] Factory Rifle Roulette, Savage Style Button rifled barrel is faster twist than spec and probably has inconsistent bore diameter to boot, no shocker there. Stock inletting (and bedding, if it's even there) that is basically a rough out. God only knows what's going on in the two sets of threads holding the barrel on or if the nut is any semblance of torqued correctly. Dissimilar heating of the nut, action, and barrel plus gorilla-torque could be doing something. Not that I'm knocking on Savage, I bought a 112 Magnum Target in 338 Lapua that shot so well I bought a second.... which is currently getting a new barrel put on and the factory bedding milled out. You win some, you lose some. The OG slings 300gn OTMs like it was blessed by Brian Litz himself. [/QUOTE]
